I think we are still ahead of Beijing at this stage of the tournament.

 

Don't know what events are left though.

Can get to 19 with Trott and Kenny cycling, along with Tweddle in gymnastics

Come on Beth, time to go out with a bang! The male gymnast said she was over the hill this morning, in jest I'm sure. She's 27

16 golds....but can Team GB equal Beijing's 19? Not sure what contenders are left in the athletics events.

 

 

Just hit 18 now - well done Jason Kenny

I was pleased that she got a bronze, though it could have been silver.

Pub Olympics would be classic.

So what sports are you surprised by not being in the olympics? and What sports have you seen here that you have just thought

Can't figure out what's Olympian about synchronised swimming, and various other non-sports like that.

 

Bit surprised that Squash isn't in the Olympics. I know that the U.S. has a different version of the game, but I'm sure they could adapt...

Very interesting stuff, the Swimming and Long jump are worth a look also.

Quite fascinating (thumbs u

I love watching all sport but if there is one I cant stand, its golf

[Whizzer]

Watching golf is just like any other sport, if you give it a chance you can get sucked in. I don't watch much of it, but the Ryder Cup in particular is always really exciting to watch.

 

It's a sport that requires a great deal of skill.

 

Should it be in the Olympics? Probably not, but then neither should football IMHO.

I have tried watching golf, even tried to play it a few times, I dunno just not enough happening for me.

I also don't think football belongs in the Olympics
